Somini Sengupta in the NYT reports
on Twitter's agreement this week, after months of legal battling, to ID
several users who posted anti-Semitic comments on its service, whom
French authorities want to prosecute for violating hate speech laws.
The case has important implications for Twitter users
worldwide, as governments increasingly try to extract user information
from the service. Legal experts say Twitter could have insisted that the
French authorities seek to extract the user data by filing a claim in
the United States, where the company is based.
